Host Neeta Bidwai concludes a 2-part episode explaining why traditional lead generation models are failing, and what to do about it. You can find the full episode, along with all the slides, on our Youtube channel.
Part 2: Building off the data and market dynamics discussed in last week's episode, host Neeta Bidwai discusses the challenges faced by organizations in reaching and influencing customers and emphasizes the need to design a system tailored to their specific customer base. Neeta advocates for designing a custom go-to-market system tailored to an organization’s customer base, price point, and mission. The four essential elements of this model include continuous validation of the target audience, mining unique customer insights, facilitating independent buyer learning, and revising KPIs and metrics. Key points include validating the target audience over time, mining unique customer insights, unbundling marketing and sales efforts, and changing KPIs and metrics to reflect current realities. She also stresses the importance of thought leadership and educational content in building trust, competitive advantages, and accelerating the buying process. Effective messaging, segmentation, and the need for regular customer insights programs are discussed as critical components of a successful go-to-market strategy.

Host Neeta Bidwai deep dives into a 2-part episode explaining why traditional lead generation models are failing, and what to do about it. You can find the full episode & slides on the Good Revenue Youtube channel.
Part 1: Neeta analyzes the complexity, inefficiency, and unpredictability of moving prospects through traditional lead generation funnels. Key frameworks such as 'Predictable Revenue,' 'HubSpot's inbound methodology,' and 'SiriusDecisions' are examined to illustrate their evolution and limitations in today’s crowded market. Significant challenges include higher acquisition costs, complex media landscapes, and a shift in media consumption. Customer dissatisfaction is rising, and there's a notable shift towards self-serve purchasing, rendering traditional sales interactions less desirable. Declining capital efficiency in enterprises is also an important factor driving the critical need for business models that can adapt to these new market conditions. These structural issues have massive implications for go-to-market: the data shows a significant portion of sales efforts fail due to buyer indecision, suggesting a need for sales teams to shift from pushing for urgency to ensuring buyers feel secure in their decisions.
Highlights:
00:44 Current Market Challenges
02:33 Understanding Lead Generation
03:36 Frameworks and Models
